Chapter 12720 Beyond the Boundary (Happy New Year's Eve)
Meanwhile, Ye Chen used spatial magic to quickly return to the Nine Cang Academy.
He released Fu Jin, the Crimson Moon Goddess, the Dawn Goddess, and Su Yunli from the cycle of reincarnation, ordering them to lead forces to besiege the Black Abyss Domain.
All four women had sacrificed themselves for Ye Chen, yet they miraculously revived, which was truly unbelievable.
Ye Chen is currently unable to comprehend the reason behind it, which cannot be explained by common sense. It involves the ultimate law behind it, and he just happened to use it, but he has not truly mastered the law.
Ye Chen also arranged separate accommodations for Feng Qingxue and her daughter Xiyue outside the Morning Dawn Flower Sea Palace, without forcing them to violate the principles of pure love.
Neither the mother nor the daughter demanded that Ye Chen love only the two of them anymore, and the two sides maintained a delicate balance and tacit understanding.
The goddess of beauty was mending the heavens, using her own power to repair the severely damaged barriers of the world, but she secretly left a passage for Ye Chen.
Ye Chen already has a clear vision for the future: after slaying the Yin God, he will inherit the power of the Abyss.
When the beginning is destroyed again, the authority of light will be handed over to the goddess of beauty.
The two, one light and one dark, perfectly merge with each other, and they will have the opportunity to achieve unparalleled transcendence, transcending Yin and Yang, transcending chaos, and ultimately destroying the primordial ancestor of chaos.
This was the method Ye Chen conceived, but it didn't conform to the "Four-Word Rule." He still couldn't figure out what that four-word rule was.
If we could see through it, there might be a more correct and reliable solution.
……
Shaking his head, Ye Chen stopped thinking about it. Right now, he should focus on how to seize the Tyrant's Flame and resolve the threat from the Abyss.
He calmed himself down and created a vast, empty space for himself, silently reflecting on the gains and losses of the Divine Path Trials and the Great Battle of the Abyss.
This void space actually has no existence of space, no time, and not even the concept of "nothingness".
Ye Chen vanished into the void, disappearing from the world in an instant. If Mei Shen, Feng Qingxue, and the others hadn't known the situation beforehand, they would have thought Ye Chen was dead.
"No, it's not true nothingness yet. I can't escape the cause and effect of the world."
“Beauty Goddess, Qingxue, Xiyue… they still have me in their hearts. To them, I am an indelible lighthouse and anchor.”
"As long as I remain connected to the world, am I incapable of defeating the Primordial Chaos?"
A thousand thoughts flashed through Ye Chen's mind. Although he hadn't even solved the Abyss yet, he was already thinking about fighting against the Primordial Chaos.
Elder Ye Liao of the Burning Heaven Ancient Saint Sect once told him that to defeat the Black Queen Mother, one must first enter the Undying Realm, second, awaken the Ancestor Zhan Tian, and third, sever all emotional ties.
Currently, Ye Chen has only achieved the first point; he cannot awaken the Ancestor Zhan Tian, nor can he sever his emotional ties.
Deep down, Ye Chen sensed that severing these emotional ties was of paramount importance.
If he cannot sever his emotional ties, he cannot achieve true transcendence and will always be bound by the laws of the world.
How could they possibly defeat the Primordial Chaos if they were still within the bounds of the laws of the world?
Even the Abyss and the Primordial Ones might not be able to defeat them, since those two supreme beings are at the pinnacle of the world's laws.
In an instant, a jumble of thoughts swirled and intertwined.
Ye Chen took a deep breath, suppressed his chaotic thoughts, and held his hands together, attempting to gather all the laws and principles to break through to the Heavenly Dao Realm.
In fact, with the supernatural powers and laws he has accumulated so far, it is more than enough for him to open up a completely new path.
What he lacks is "fuel".
The "Eternal Night Fire," known as the tyrant's fire, is undoubtedly the most suitable "fuel."
Ye Chen took stock of his various methods, including the authority of the gods, the authority of heroes, the Book of Stars, the Book of Reincarnation, and so on, in preparation for setting off to the world beyond.
Finally, he took out a seal, which was the Seal of the Stars, said to have a causal connection with the Great Heavenly Emperor.
Ye Chen activated his spiritual energy, and a spirit slowly emerged on the star seal. It was the star god who claimed to be the spirit of the Great Heavenly Emperor.
He was interfered with by the primordial will, and his body was bound by chains of light. Fortunately, the interference was not too severe. Ye Chen activated the sword energy of the Heavenly Emperor Divine Sword and cut off the chains of light, restoring the star god to his freedom.
After regaining his freedom, the Star God looked at Ye Chen with a rather complicated expression and said, "You are... the Lord of Reincarnation, a friend of the Great Heavenly Emperor?"
Ye Chen's heart skipped a beat when he heard the question, and he asked in return, "Who is the Great Heavenly Emperor?"
Without a doubt, the Great Heavenly Emperor is a very important being. If Ye Chen can unravel the secrets behind him, he might gain an ally who is practically heaven-defying!
The Star God said, "You should have guessed it by now, the Great Heavenly Emperor is Ren Feifan."
Upon hearing this, Ye Chen was greatly shocked. He had indeed guessed some of it, but hearing the Star God say it himself still left him utterly astonished. After pondering for a while, he was still filled with doubts and said:
"What exactly is going on?"
Star God pondered for a moment, seemingly organizing his words, and said, "The matter is somewhat complicated, but it is actually quite simple: you and Ren Feifan traveled back to the past."
"Ren Feifan became the Great Heavenly Emperor, and you became his closest comrade-in-arms. Together, you almost wiped out and suppressed the Chaos Era, and were on the verge of creating Chaos."
"But at the last moment, you were suppressed by a terrifying will, and the creation of chaos failed."
Ye Chen asked, "The Primordial Ancestor of Chaos?"
The Star God said, "Yes, at the last moment, you were suppressed by the Primordial Chaos, and the creation of the world failed. You disappeared without a trace, and the Great Heavenly Emperor was killed by a nail."
"After you die, the Dao will divide into Yin and Yang, and Yin and Yang will create the world. This is not the will of any one person, but the natural law of the world. Although the essence of the world is chaos, chaos is constantly being created, destroyed, and fluctuating, and eventually some knowable laws will evolve."
"Once these laws are born, they will form the fundamental laws of heaven and earth, which even the primordial ancestor of chaos himself could not stop."
"So, you and the Great Heavenly Emperor failed, but the Primordial Chaos Ancestor also failed. Chaos was still created, and the world was born."
After listening to the Star God's words, Ye Chen fell into deep thought.
Without a doubt, what the Star God spoke of was the mystery of the origin of the world, the secret of the world's birth.
He and Ren Feifan once wanted to create a chaotic world, but they were stopped by the Chaos Ancestor and both perished. However, the Chaos Ancestor was unable to prevent the creation from happening.
"I don't understand, so there are two of me? One is the present me, and the other is the past me?"
"Has my past self created history, and has it also become history?"
Ye Chen's brain isn't quite working properly.
The Star God said, "This involves very profound mysteries of space and time, which I don't quite understand either, Lord of Reincarnation. I only know that you and the Great Heavenly Emperor have been searching for four words, saying that as long as you can decipher those four words, you can completely annihilate the Primordial Chaos Ancestor."
"You never found those four words. In the end, you tried to forcefully open up the chaos with boundless power, but you failed."
"The Four-Word Law?" Ye Chen's heart skipped a beat. He was also searching for those four words, those four words hidden by the Primordial Chaos, which were the ultimate secret that could kill the Primordial Chaos!
The Star God said, "Yes, do you want to know? Over the years, I have inherited your and the Great Heavenly Emperor's will and have been investigating. I have found some clues. As long as I burn myself, I can break through part of the chaos and let you glimpse one of the words."
Ye Chen's eyes widened in disbelief. He asked, "You mean, you've already found one of the four characters in that four-character rule?"
The Star God said, "Yes, it was actually you and the Great Heavenly Emperor who tracked it down. I was just following in your footsteps. Do you want to peek at that word? I can burn myself to illuminate it for you."
"But, to be honest, it's very dangerous. Just peeking at one word without peeking at the whole thing, knowing only one word, can disturb one's Dao heart and may even form an anchor point, leading to a backlash from the Primordial Chaos Ancestor."
Ye Chen pondered for a moment, and now a tremendous opportunity was presented to him.
By burning itself, the Star God can illuminate part of the chaos and thus glimpse one of the four words of the law.
This was an incredibly tempting offer for Ye Chen.
His heart felt like it was being gnawed by a thousand insects; he desperately wanted to know what that four-word rule was.
Give him a single word, and he might be able to deduce all the secrets.
But in the end, Ye Chen took a deep breath, sighed, and said, "Never mind then."
The Star God was somewhat surprised and asked, "What?"
Ye Chen said, "Curiosity killed the cat. Even if I knew the secrets of the four-word law, I couldn't possibly reverse the chaos so quickly."
"To me, the Abyss is a deadly enemy, let alone the Primordial Chaos. Let's deal with the Abyss first."
The Star God stared at Ye Chen for a long while, then finally smiled and said, "Very well, after we defeat the Abyss, we can then try to explore that word. Perhaps it won't be too late."
Ye Chen hummed in agreement, then put away the Star Seal and let the Star God rest.
The Star God, having suffered from the impact of the Primordial Will, does indeed need rest now.
After settling the Star God, Ye Chen adjusted himself to his peak condition. Three days passed quickly, and it was time for him to set off.
At this time, the war between the Nine Azure Domain and the Black Abyss Domain had already begun. The Crimson Moon Goddess, Fu Jin, Su Yunli, the Dawn Goddess, and others were on the front lines, fighting against many demons and monsters from the Black Abyss Domain.
Without the Black Queen Mother's leadership, the demons and monsters in the Black Abyss Domain would naturally be no match for Ye Chen's camp, and their defeat was only a matter of time.
Now, the only remaining threats are the Yin God and the Black Queen Mother herself, and that enormous, pitch-black abyss pillar that pierces the heavens and earth, inspiring awe and fear.
"Are we about to leave?"
The goddess of beauty led the women of the harem to bid farewell to Ye Chen.
Over the past three days, the goddess of beauty has repaired most of the world's barriers and even left a passage specifically for Ye Chen.
"Well, I should get going now. Take care, everyone."
Ye Chen hugged the goddess of beauty and embraced the other women.
The goddess smiled and said, "We are all your anchors. After you go beyond the world, as long as you have us in your heart, you will find your way home."
Ye Chen said, "I know."
With only a month to go, Ye Chen had no time to waste. After a brief farewell to the Goddess of Beauty and the others, he transformed into a wisp of light, rose into the sky, and flew towards the outside world.
Following the passage specially left by the goddess of beauty, Ye Chen flew smoothly to the Yin-Yang layer on the other side of the starry sky.
Once you pass through this layer of Yin and Yang energy, you will officially arrive at the world beyond this world!
Ye Chen looked back at the other side of the starry sky and saw only vast expanses of darkness. The once prosperous and dazzling sun, moon and stars were no more. Where there was light, only the Nine Cang Domain, the Temple of the End, and the Yin Yang Divine Dao Sect remained.
If these last few points of light are extinguished, then the other side of the starry sky, along with the boundless space and time, and even all the heavens and myriad worlds, will be annihilated in the abyss.
Ye Chen took a deep breath, knowing that he had a great responsibility. He immediately activated the Deceiving Heaven Talisman to conceal his aura, passed through the Yin-Yang Qi layer, and officially flew out of the world on the other side of the starry sky, arriving outside the world.
What he saw before him was still a vast expanse of darkness and chaos, devoid of stars, moon, and light.
"I need to go to Taixuan City first and find that Manager Jin."
Ye Chen took out the letter of recommendation given by the Primordial Ancestor. Following the causal aura of the letter, he was able to deduce and pinpoint the location of Tai Xuan City. He immediately flew away.
After passing through vast stretches of darkness and chaos, when Ye Chen looked back, he could no longer see the other side of the starry sky.
Planets are constantly rotating, and the other side of the starry sky is no exception. Therefore, coordinates are constantly changing, and the laws outside this world are extremely chaotic. So once a person leaves the other side of the starry sky, it is easy to get lost and not be able to find their way back.
Ye Chen closed his eyes and sensed the presence of the Goddess of Beauty, Ji Siqing, and others. They were like anchor points and lighthouses, ensuring that Ye Chen would not lose his way.
As long as they are still there, Ye Chen will be able to find his way home.
Ye Chen felt a little relieved and continued flying forward. He saw large swathes of chaotic darkness all around him and thought, "The chaos is reviving, and it's getting worse."
In the past, the other side of the starry sky was a place of purgatory due to the conflict between the Primordial Era and the Abyss, but purgatory was at least a world that could be perceived.
Chaos, however, is unknowable.
Ye Chen traversed through the darkness and chaos, feeling only a strange sense of panic. He couldn't sense anything, not even the concept of "nothingness." If it weren't for his powerful cultivation, he would probably have been completely lost.
"The Corpse Buddha of Ten Thousand Industries, the Mother of the Netherworld Insects, the Lord of Gray Mist, the Son of the Great Dao, Ameng, the Tomb of the Gods... and the Dao Ancestor of the Beginningless, Ren Feifan, that Heavenly Emperor's Son, Jing Liyue, the Female Yang Goddess and Ye Xingcai, so many people, but where are they now?"
As Ye Chen traversed the chaos, he thought of many enemies and friends. He released his divine sense to try to sense and capture them, but found that his divine sense was blocked by the chaos, and he was unable to glimpse the mysteries of this world.
Moreover, he also sensed a danger; if he rashly released his divine sense again, he might be discovered.
With this in mind, Ye Chen became more cautious and continued to use the Heaven-Deceiving Talisman to conceal his aura as he flew. Finally, after two or three days, he flew out of the Chaos Zone.
But after flying out of the chaotic zone, all Ye Chen saw was an endless, deep darkness, with no sun, moon, or stars in sight. This darkness was even darker than the other side of the starry sky.
"Primordial Spirit Eye, open!"
